Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter 96

LISA POV:

"I did have a memory with certain someone when I was a kid," Jennie reminisced her sweet memory with PeuPeu. "I often helped my dad back then because we were trying to raise more money. Because of my uncle's crazy spending for gambling, he sold everything that our late grandpa had. Then he just ran away, leaving his daughter with us."

"The debt collectors then keep coming to our house, demanding the money that was borrowed by my uncle in the name of my dad. So we had to sell everything, literally everything that we had until we only had enough to buy this land for us to settle again."

"My dad used to be a transporter who brings water gallon or any other stuff to neighboring villages. Sometimes we bring building material or even farm animals like pigs, ducks, or chickens from one village to another. He would ride his old motorbike while I sat behind in the wagon he pulled with the bike. Usually, I would take care and make sure the stuff we transported won't fall."

"You know, the road back then was awful. So many potholes and dangerous turns. Glad that I'm still alive, hahaha!" Jennie laughed freely while Lisa kept on staring at her with her hot gaze.

Jennie continued her story, a reminiscence of her childhood memory, "While working with my dad, I once encountered a little boy in one village. He was two years younger than me, and he was so Handsome like a Ken doll."

"He came from a rich but lonely family. I can see it," Jennie sighed, remembering about PeuPeu. "I just hope that I can bring him to my home because he was so lonely."

"After I met him once, I tried my best to visit him often. Because he couldn't leave his big mansion, I usually brought him many things in exchange for money. But like, he was so rich while I was dirt poor. So I uh... I scammed him sometimes."

Lisa said nothing, but her hug around Jennie's waist tightened, like a little girl who had found her favorite person.

She kept staring at Jennie with her hot gaze, and her lips trembled, but she still zipped her lips tightly.

Thus, Jennie continued her story, "Do you know that I often told him that a tanghulu could cost as much as five thousand dollars? Sometimes I feel bad, but then again, he didn't seem to know the value of money. Because he would use the highest dollar bill as a paper plane or paper ship! Can you imagine how loaded he was?"

"Well, I think that's also the reason why I am so unlucky in my love life right now. Maybe he is cursing me ah because I scammed him so much back then. But his money also helps my parents a lot because we can pay half of our debt with it."

"Lili, do you think he will be angry if we met again? I mean, he is just so cute and kind. I feel bad."

"But money is still money, you know. I'm sure he's still loaded as heck right now, haha!"

"I don't think he will be angry at you, Unnie...." Lisa suddenly said. "In fact, if he can meet you right now, I bet he will be the happiest and luckiest... person on earth."

Jennie jolted.

She turned her head to look at Lisa, whose eyes were wet with tears but also glimmered with hope and relief.

"A–Aiya! Lili, what happened to you? Did you eat something wrong? Did you feel hurt somewhere? Aish, this is village ah, let me find some traditional medicine from the old healer in the village!"
